Senior Scientist/Faculty Position in Image-Guided and Information-intensive Interventional Medicine
The Johns Hopkins University's Whiting School of Engineering and Department of Radiology are seeking a senior researcher to fill a leadership role in multidisciplinary transitional research in image-guided and information-intensive interventional medicine. The goal of this effort is development of systems that combine innovative algorithms, robotic devices, imaging systems and image analysis methods, sensors, and human-machine interfaces to work cooperatively with physicians in the planning and execution of surgery and other interventional procedures. This position is being created as part of a larger Johns Hopkins University initiative directed toward Integration of Imaging, Intervention, and Informatics in Medicine (I4M).
Specific responsibilities include:
Define and lead systems-oriented, multi-disciplinary research projects combining novel technology and imaging systems and methods with clinical applications.
Collaborate closely with engineering faculty, staff engineers, and clinical faculty in the conduct of research.
Provide leadership in research projects as a principal investigator and co-investigator. This will require development of funded proposals as well as conducting research.
Supervise graduate and post-doctoral students and assist in mentoring relevant activities by clinical residents and fellows.
Assist in defining and teaching appropriate trans-disciplinary short courses for engineering/medical students and physicians in training.
Participate in definition, development, and execution of programs within JHU.s I4M initiative.
As part of a transformation to I4M, coordinate multiple research and education efforts within the NSF Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (CISST ERC; http://www.cisst.org) and participate in Center Leadership activities.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in an appropriate engineering discipline such as computer science, biomedical, electrical, or mechanical engineering or in an appropriate clinical discipline such as radiology. Applicants also should have significant experience in systems-oriented research targeted at clinical applications, with a demonstrated ability to work successfully both with clinicians and engineering research staff. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will receive an appropriate primary academic appointment within the Whiting School of Engineering or in Radiology commensurate with his or her experience. We anticipate that person will also receive appropriate secondary appointments in other divisions of Johns Hopkins University.
Interested persons should submit a single PDF file containing the following material: curriculum vitae; the names of three references; a research statement; and relevant research publications. Materials and questions should be sent to:
